john nixon is a retired search and rescue aircraft commander.ident of florida and a mandated evacuee. he joins us from tampa. when does the search and rescue start? how do you know when it's over? because there are so many levels to this storm. >> the levels of search and rescue according to the risk. if there is no active calls, we'll wait until conditions mode rate so the aircraft can take off and land. if they have good visibility we can see what they are looking for. judge jeanine: how do you get the call? if i'm 8 years old and i didn't have any family and didn't evacuate. who do i get in touch with so they call you to save me or it doesn't work that way? >> always dial 911. in search and rescue or on the coast. dial 911, or radio channel 15. if you dial 911 the operators will get the information to the rescue operations center which is up in orlando because of the hurricane. they will give it to the rescue sources and the helicopters and aircraft or small boats. judge jeanine: john, you have been threw this before. this hurricane has been

nixon assigned his top lieutenants the president's men the task of managing the fallout from the break-in. among them chief of staff bob haldeman and presidential adviser johnuardians of the clandestine activities. ehrlichman begins to monopolize more and more of their time. we know that because nixon had a secret tape recording system in the oval office. >> what's the dope on the watergate incident? >> there's nothing new. >> because i think the country doesn't give much of a [ bleep ] about it. and most people around the country think that this is routine, everybody's trying to bug everybody else. it's politics. >> the great thing about this is it is so totally [ bleep ] up and so badly done that nobody believes that we could have done it. that's right. it's just beyond comprehension. >> well, it sounds like a comic opera. it would make a funny [ bleep ] damn movie. it really is like a comic opera. >> it would make one hell of a movie. but not very funny. >> haldeman and ehrlichman knew what they had to do, cover all the tracks leading to the white house. they started by enlisting another of the president's men, legal adviser john dean, to monitor day-to-

john dean being believed. so if it came down to he said/he said, the president was going to win. >> president nixon and his counsel, john dean, now appear to be at odds over the watergate scandal. >> one nixon aide knew how to prove who was lying, but no one had asked him. >> while in the barbershop i am watching the hearings, as was everyone, every place. this is the morning of monday the 16th of july. i was really quite relaxed until i got that phone call. we are going to want you to come up here and testify. a senator wants you to testify at 2:00. i said, you can just tell him i'm not coming. so on the tube i see this guy go in behind the senators and whisper in urban's ear. and it's those big bushy eyebrows of his went, whoop. you can see them going up and down. and he wasn't pleased. you can tell that. he tells this young man something and the guy leaves. predictably right away the phone rings. and he said i just told the senator what you said and he said if you are not in his office at 1:00 he will have federal marshals pick you up on the street. that's exactly what he said. >> carl stern is outside the sena

john f. kennedy, nixon got to test his chops in front of a camera against the leader of america's greatest rival. in what may be remembered as the strangest contest in political history, nixon traded barbs with soviet premier nikita khrushchev in a debate named for the bizarre venue it took place in -- a model kitchen. "the topics ranged from rockets, communism and capitalism, war and freedom to color television and the kitchen sink." "vice president nixon escorts soviet premier krushchev on a preview of the united states fair at sokolniki park in moscow." just a month after a soviet exhibit went on display in new york, nixon would help open the american version in russia's captial city. "but on this occasion, traditional diplomacy goes by the board and the story of the fair itself is eclipsed by a crackling exchange between nixon and krushchev." soon after setting foot inside the show's model kitchen with television cameras rolling, krushchev -- both playful and filterless -- started to make a case against america's capitalist lifestyle. "well then, we will say america has existed 150 years and

i want to go now to the former white house counsel for nixon, john dean, former cia chief, steve hawe preston and editor in chief of "the daily beas beast". steve, let me start with you and "the washington post" report. they're saying paul manafort offered to brief this oligarch just before trump was nominated. offered briefings, plural. what's your reaction? >> erin, this is a big deal. at the least, which you have is manafort, at that time, the campaign manager, offering to deripaska, who he has to know because he's done business with him for a long time, has the know about his contacts with putin directly in the kremlin and he's offering a private briefing. for these types of things. now, if you're russian intelligence, the way you're going to interpret that as s as follows. we have a very senior person who could be close to somebody who could be the president of the united states who is offering private discussions to talk about what's going on in the campaign. russian intelligence is going to be all over that. deripaska is plugged into the entire kremlin system and i would say, y

john f. kennedy was there as well, as was richard nixon. they got the two together to talk about the issues. in some ways, herbert hoover negotiated between kennedy and nixon. nixon chose not to pursue a recount. he thought it would be deleterious to the nation, specifically in illinois and texas. in some ways, herbert hoover judged people based on not just what they said or their political affiliation and party, but whether they were kindred spirits in their police and what had they accomplished. fs and what had they accomplished. i had always been interested in that relationship between herbert hoover and the kennedy family as much as i was between herbert hoover and harry s truman. it is counter intuitive to think they had much in common. it is hard for us to imagine any former president of opposite political persuasions would have real affection. you do occasionally see it. the relationship between jimmy carter and gerald ford was extraordinary. we saw it in the early days between john adams and thomas jefferson. it does happen. with it

coming up in about ten minutes john farrell talking about his most recent book "richard nixon the life." we have about ten minutes between these two authors andd want to hear what you reading. 2027488200 for those of you in the eastern and central timezones (202)748-8201 and if you live in the mountain and pacific timezones. some of the comments we have got on facebook on what people are reading robert hunter writes in and says he is reading out rouseff's shakespeare demand and martin is reading young radicals by jeremy carter and booktv has covered that both, young radicals. will let's hear what from kathleen in plymouth, michigan. kathleen good evening to you. what he reading? >> caller: i'm reading robert robert -- my favorite poets and i don't know how familiar your audience is with him but one of the most poignant poems is the march of the dead. robert was from england and is a great writer. he writes, actually it's the army that is tidings coming back during the celebration but they are the ones that are parading through the streets. it's absolutely wonderful. anybody who has rea

the book also tells us that in the richard nixon, john kennedy race for president, it was clear that upon the history nixon was more deserving of the black vote than kennedy. we witnessed firsthand that no entertainer had the skills of sammy davis junior. there is a scene where he plays every instrument and orchestra and we all know about his ability to sing and dance. "sweet thunder: the life and times of sugar ray robinson." sugar ray robinson, pound for pound, may be the best prizefighter the world has ever seen. that would include mohamed ali. wil will tell us that sugar ray was not just a fighter, he was a harlem renaissance man. he loved the arts, that included literature, dance, song and arts. sugar ray interacted with all of the great entertainments and artist during the harlem renaissance. this cat was hip and was cool and will told us about it. we get to see sugar ray in the life that no other author could have brought to life. again, wil it resurrected an icon. the story of eugene allen, the butler, who served eight presidents who turned into a very successful blockbuster m

we see the corpulence of grover cleveland, a surprisingly happy looking richard nixon, and a ephemeral john. kennedy, one of only two portraits by women in the show. the often overlooked number 11, james polk, a bit of a mel gibson look-alike, was arguably the most influential president of all, securing land of that turned america into a pacific nation. the centerpiece is the famous portrait of george washington. fittingly, it stands at the entrance, inviting us to explore the presidency and perhaps gain a better understanding of the current white house occupant. >> i think context is everything. the more we learn about all 44 presidents before the current president, the more prepared we are to judge the present. jane: and there is more to come. the gallery's commissioned portrait of barack obama will soon hang here. so watch this space. jane o'brien, bbc news, washington. laura: definitely worth a visit. remember, you can find more of all the day's news at our website. to see what we are working on at any time, check out our facebook page. i am laura trevelyan. thanks for watching "world n

cnn contributor john dean, a former nixon white house counsel is here and the author of conservativeser federal prosecutor renato mariotti. thank you so much, gentlemen, for joining us. john, i'm going to start with you. i want to get your reaction to cnn's new reporting that the fbi wiretapped former trump campaign chairman paul manafort under secret court orders, surveillance that continued until this year when manafort was still talking to the president. they also raided a storage facility of his. what are the implications of all of this? >> well, it certainly is a very aggressive investigation, much more so than is the norm for special prosecutors, certainly historically. they must see something because to get a warrant, which they've done on three occasions with manafort, they have to show probable cause that there's a -- not only is he a foreign agent, but there's likely an espionage or similar crime. so this is a pretty high standard. so that's why i say it -- you know, they have some evidence, and they're being very aggressive in going after it, and they're not hiding that fac

john f. kennedy. johnson, 139,000. nixon, 85,000. jimmy carter, 52. george w.ush was 491,000 because it just opened. was at 334.ton onald reagan, 383,000 and george h.w. bush 136,000. enough people? it depend on what you want to do. certainly not enough people in the research rooms. to as difficult for me self-fund all of these trips and to spend time in the research rooms. also depends on what -- as a system what do we want the system to do? place to it to be a 20 act tourists or a place preserve and make available the records of the presidency. tax : are these funds deductible? anthony: they are not. brian: why not? anthony: as far as donations? it would depend on how they set then, if it's a nonprofit, yes. brian: and how much do we know about who contributes? nthony: we only know what's voluntarily disclosed by some of the foundations. here is no law that requires disclosure and there is no law that prohibits donations. why do foreign governments give to these presidential libraries, saudi koreans, kuwaitis, you can go down the list, japan. former i think 2

so studying the speeches of john kennedy and johnson and nixon might help him realized the comhenzative the only way forward. that will require him to change his ways. >> i like to remind our viewers, jamie ruben knows what he's talking about. he has been behind closed doors discussing policies and jamie, your assessment of where we are today in terms of success with the north koreans, it feels like a pretty critical moment to me. >> well, yes. what i'm worried about is that donald trump thought that by bragging about the united states military power, which is awesome, and like no other country has ever had such power in history, that he could somehow intimidate a north korean leader into moving away from his nuclear program. it's not going to work when you have a ruthless dictator who's prepared to gamble with the lives of his own citizens, have you to seek a different approach. we're going to fail to do what the president said just like we failed under obama and bush. the question is whether you are we're going to learn from the failures. the best way forward is to show the chinese th

. >> in the nixon white house we had john dean, among others, crack, and tell the truth about what he experienced in the nixon coverup. let's listen to the first person in the trump white house who cracked and apparently told the truth about why james comey was fired. he actually told that truth to lester holt on video in the white house. let's listen to this witness. >> he made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey. knowing there was no good time to do it. and, in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. >> david, that will surely be an exhibit or certainly be maintained as an exhibit at this point in the files of special prosecuter. whether it's used in court is another matter. there's donald trump basically turning in donald trump. >> well, to lift this out of the legalities into the politics a little bit. that incident that's beautifully quoted there illustrates a pr

. >> it's -- the only one i can think of was john mitchell who was president nixon's campaign managerltimately went to prison in watergate. >> so he was -- he was being wiretapped. he was being listened to. he was under surveillance for a period of time that was before and after the election. how serious is this? >> it's really serious and it's worth remembering, the fbi can't just wiretap anyone they want. they have to go to a judge and they have to present evidence that this person is a -- there is probable cause to believe that this person is involved somehow in counter intelligence, in aiding foreign intelligence services. that doesn't prove that they are, but it certainly suggests that the fbi had more than a hunch and they did it twice. so on two occasions they had enough evidence to persuade a judge to approve this kind of wiretap. >> as you heard, i was asking shimon about some of the reporting, some of the intelligence suggested that it appeared that manafort was encouraging russians to get involved, but it's unclear exactly what that means. what is the universal possibility

those of us a certain age remember the first time we heard key biscayne is because richard nixon had a home there. john f. kennedy visited him there. how would you describe key biscayne? i know a lot of it is uninhabited wetlands. >> we have approximately 580 acres of beaches and wetlands and mangroves. we have a small town, a village that is 1.5 square miles, and it is very much a small town. we all love the ocean. we -- access is through a series of bridges. and we are a low-lying barrier island. we take our building code and our resiliency very, very seriously. so we work hardin kre ment-- ha we are extremely concerned about hurricane irma. >> is everybody out and everyone who could be expected to evacuate other than first responders? >> we have a couple of hard core people that are staying. it concerns me tremendously. but we have gotten almost everyone out. >> mayor, we're going to be hoping for the best for you and your community and all of our friends on the florida peninsula. thank you very much for taking the time to be with us. we know you have other concerns on your mind, the mayor of key bi

you know, john dean caused a sensation during his senate watergate testimony to the senate judiciary, the senate special committee on watergate. but what sealed richard nixon'se tapes that corroborated what john said. the koob ration is going to determine the fate of this investigation. >> john, do you agree with that? >> i do. it would have been very lonely without the tapes. i actually added that to my testimony at the last minute, that i thought i had been recorded. it's the best addition i ever made to my testimony. >> did you know you were being recorded or had the feeling? >> i had the feeling from one meeting in particular on april 15th, when he asked me a bunch of leading questions, and at one point got up and went to the corner to the office and in a staged whisper, he asked me a question. at that point, it clicked and i said, he's recording this. so it stuck. >> do we know, carl, the extent to which mueller may be looking at the president's involvement in crafting that statement for donald trump, jr., which "the new york times" reported he had a very active role in? >> that is something we do know about, and we know it because there's so many lawye

years and they got nixon, and i think there was just a whole lot of things going on that set up nixon, from johned him incorrectly, and a lot of other things. kind of like a riot going after nixon. i think he was basically innocent and there's several books about watergate coming from different directions but coming up with the same conclusion that he was set up. >> host: thank you, ron. >> guest: i don't have much to say. i was a kid while most of that was going on. i think this simply brings up he issue of fairness and justice. if we in this country are wedded to partisanship, we will never be the america we're meant to be. we have to care about fairness no matter who is in office. so, with regard to nixon, i think that is the case, nat some cases people were out to get him. those things always color every investigation. ain't unfortunately but we have to do everything we took get the truth out. think that's happening now with regard to hillary clinton and the clinton foundation. think that we just have to say, we believe in truth and in justice, and when people say, well, it's your truth or y

john, last word. >> the prospect of trump pulling a nixon and china on immigration with comprehensive reform and dacascinating but that's the triumph of hope over experience the republicans are dead locked, this say deep civil war. people's lives as abby said almost 1 million folks lives in the balance and it could set up a terrible conflict from a civil liberty standpoint. >> with one bill it may be possible. >> must be a pony in here somewhere. >> we should keep in mind democrats are going to play a huge role if they're willing to accept something short of citizenship for the kid that will be important. you can get a lot of republicans on board with a legal status, green cards, maybe something short of citizenship, not what all democrats want but that could be the key here to getting something done for these dreamers. >> it has to happen in the next six months. good luck with that. great to have you with us. >>> a state of emergency declared in florida as powerful hurricane irma takes aim at the state. when will it hit? who is in harm's way? new developments in this storm. stay with us. usaa to me

you know, john dean caused a sensation during his watergate testimony, in the senate commission on watergate. but what really sealed nixon'sthe corroboration. the corroboration or the lack of testimony. that is what will determine the fate of this investigation. >> john, do you agree with that? >> i do, it would have been very lonely without the tapes. i actually added it to my testimony at the last moment i thought was recorded. it's the best edition. >> do you know if it was recorded, or do you have the feeling? >> i had the feeling in one meeting in particular on april 15th, when he asked me leading questions and at one point went to the corner of the office and in a stage whisper asked me a question. at that moment it just clicked and i said he is recording this and it stuck. >> do we know the extent to which mueller may be looking at the president's involvement in crafting that statement for donald trump, in which "the new york times" reported he had a very active role in. >> that is something we do know about, and we know it because there are so many lawyers involved in this that they have been talking to the press a

i've got john dean with me, former white house counsel for president nixon. man u, just beginning with you, why are they not allowing these guys to talk? >> well, they're siting the special counsel's investigation. what we know is the special counsel is interested in this of course russia collusion aspect of it, any krim although that was involved with trump associates and russia associates. if appears to be looking into the issue or the possibility of any obstruction of justice. now, the reason why this is such an interesting and key development was the senate judiciary committee wanted to talk to these two senior fbi officials as part of its own investigation into fbi interference. and what they want to know specifically is did they have any firsthand information about the circumstances around james comey's firing, about what they got in response was that this could be part of the special counsel's investigation, so they did not want to allow them to sit down for a transcribed interview. to in response the committee said lights want talk about the investiga

i heard john dean say tonight he was asked to wear a wire in the nixon white house before the presence of a taping system became publicly known. and he refused. >> well, i will tell you what really strikes me from that is the complete distrust and disunity within the trump white house. i mean, that's what it tells me. if you are concerned that your colleagues are wearing a wire, if you are hiding documents away from others of people on your team in a locked safe, what it tells me is that you don't trust any of the people you're working with and that is exactly what as prosecutor wants. federal prosecutors want to divide and conquer. they want people to be set against one another. they want to pit people against each other so they're pointing the finger at each other and ultimately flip against each other. in the interest of the defense to keep and stay unified. so, this tells me that mueller has the trump team right now where he wants them. >> as effective a last word as we've had around these parts for quite sometime, our great thanks to carolyn ryan, sam stein, and renato for joining

senate actually conducts oversight -- richard nixon, even after the nixon tapes were handed down, had the lawful authority to pardon john mitchell and all the other ones. so because that pardon power is so vast, at the end of the day, what prevented that was the press, the american people and this body, the senate of the united states, that ultimately said we are not going to let that stand. so you actually have to be part of the process. senator blumenthal: after there is a finding of fact, after the investigation concludes, after the special counsel is permitted to do his work about whether or not there was a violation of the law and then perhaps only impeachment is the remedy. you are talking about the remedy. not the special counsel function of fact finding and investigation. special counsel is a fact-finder and investigation and the fear that our proposal is designed to address is that fact finding will be aborted, it will be cut short. it will be ended unlawfully and that the american people will never know what happened. the president does have the pardon power, and i grant you it is unlimited apparently and we c

unless the unless the american people are outraged, less the senate -- richard nixon had the lawful authority to pardon john mitchell and all the senate otho because that pardon power is so fast, at the end of the day, at the end of day what -- at the end of the day what prevented that, the senate that said we are not going to let that stand. you have to be part of that process. >> after there is a finding of fact, after the investigation concludes, after the special counsel is permitted to do his work about whether or not it was a violation law, and then perhaps only impeachment is the remedy. you are talking about the remedy. the special counsel function of fact-finding and investigation. the council is a fact finder and investigation. the fear that our proposal is designed to address is that fact-finding will be aborted. it will because short, it will be ended unlawfully and that the american people will never know what happened. the president does have the pardon power. i grant you, it is unlimited apparently. we can talk about the possible limits that may apply, but ultimately an investigator, and enfo

john f. kennedy when lyndon johnson was winning in a landslide. president kennedy himself lost north dakota to richard nixon in 1960, and it wasn't close. it's never close in north dakota. in presidential elections. donald trump beat hillary clinton in north dakota by 36 points. take a look at that. look at that store. 63-27. that's north dakota voting. that is the reason president trump invited north dakota democratic senator heidi heitkamp to dinner tonight at the white house. 36 points. and those 36 points are the reason that heidi heitkamp accepted the dinner invitation. senator heitkamp won her election to the senate in north dakota in 2012 by exactly one point. donald trump won her state by 36 points. politically, heidi heitkamp can't afford to turn down a dinner invitation from this white house. not when she represents a state filled with trump voters. it is hard being a democrat in north dakota, especially in the age of trump. and it is hard being a democrat in west virginia and indiana. it is hard for a democrat to win a statewide election in those states. the three democratic senators from those s

now, john ehrlichman, then counsel and assistant to the president for domestic affairs under president nixon, admitted, mr. speaker, that the war on drugs was an effort to vilify african-american leaders and to disrupt the african-american community. admitted that the war on drugs was contrived to diminish the reputation of african-americans. and indeed they were successful because the burden of this failed war have fallen overwhelmingly on the african-american community. in 2014 african-american adults accounted for just 14% of those who used drugs, but close to a third of those who were arrested for drug possession, and although african-americans and whites consume drugs at a similar rate, african-americans are significantly more likely to be arrested. now, this proportionate endorsement of drug laws in the nation in which racial groups use drugs at the same rate points to one fact, mr. speaker. it can only be explained that race has played an inappropriate role in law enforcement's priorities and tactics. it's worth noting that in face of the 1980 crack cocaine epidemic in black communiti

president nixon could go to china, maybe only president trump can preside over actual bipartisan immigration reform. >> let me share with you something we received from president -- from senator john mccain about the president's decision and point out that the senator is actually in washington, in his office today, and over the weekend was at a national security conference in italy. so clearly his brain cancer is not slowing him down. he says president trump's decision to eliminate daca is the wrong approach to immigration policy at a time when both sides of the aisle need to come together to reform our broken immigration system and secure the border. maria theresa? >> that's right. the fact that this was always -- daca was always supposed to be a stopgap, temporary until congress got itself in order, that's why it is a two-year program, you have to go back and get revisited. what trump did is set a mine off in the homes of millions of families now who are not sure what is going to happen to them. and it is also unfortunately putting us in a political puzzle where are we going to get the leadership from the republican party that we desperately need. i don't know if that's the case

nixon's face tattooed on his back. >> who doesn't. >> of course. he's loving his role in the spotlight here. and he did say some things that were very suggestive. remember he said it was john podesta's time in the barrel, a few weeks before his emails were leaked. he said that paul manafort's lawyers told his lawyers that paul manafort is expected to be indicted. >> and i believe the only question that was unresolved from today that he wouldn't answer, who was the go between with julian assange and he refused to answer that question, so it remains to be seen how far they're going to push to get the answer. >> we have laughed a little bit because he is such a weird figure, but there is a deadly serious question, the original sin, on whether or not collusion with russia took place, he seems like a pretty credible witness to that question, no? >> this connection to wikileaks, julian assange, that whole sort of nexxus, it's clear that roger stone has that connection, and i think robert mueller will want to know a lot more about that, because remember mueller's charge is to investigate the russian interference in our election, and that seems to be -- certainly it's logical, tha
